LINCOLN POST.

The following resolutions were passed
by Lincoln Post, G.. A. r., at Topeka
last, Friday:
WHEREAS. II is publicly reported
and generally believed that Grover
Cleveland, President of the United
States, has been invited by an organ
lied body of citizens of st. Louis, to be
the guest of the city during the meet
ing of the next National Encampment
of the G.. a. r. in September next, and
that it is the intention of the said
Cleveland to comply with the invita-
ton:
Whereas. Said Grover Cleveland has
never endeared himself to the Union
soldiers by any personal or official act,
while on the contrary his most unjust
vetoes of the pension bills and his un-
generous language used in said VetoeS
has rendered his personal presence at
any meeting of Union soldiers extreme
ly unwelcome and obnoxious;
Whereas, The movement to secure
the attendance of Mr.. Cleveland at our
encampment is in the line of partisan
politics, and is not in accord with the
object and success of the encampment,
but tending to evil and injury; there
fore,
Resolved, BY Lincoln Post No. that
we protest against the insult that has
been offered the Grand Army of the
Republic, after it had. been invited to
st. Louis as its guest, and accepted
that invitation. st. Louis violates the
laws of hospitality by the inviting an
unwelcome guest to our encampment.
and Lincoln Post prefers to stay at
home rather than to participate in such
a reunion.
Resolved, That Deputy Commander
Seward be requested to convene the
counsel of administration with the
view to have the Department given
such expression and take such action
as this situation may require.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of
Lincoln Post that the National Coun-
Gil of Administration would act wisely
and meet the commentator of every
Union soldier by removing the encamp-
ment from st. Louis, Mo-, to Spring
field, ILL.,, where at the tomb of the i'm
mortal Lincoln, the soldiers could
draw inspiration of patriotism and
avoid the insulting presence of his OPP
posite in love and devotion to the
Union soldiers, to-wit: Grover Cleve-
land.

The cause ui TIE advance in coffee
from a to POI cents Il pound i'll the last
year is a mystery to almost everybody
and everybody, therefore, wants to
know what it is. According to the
New York Tribune the advance is lille
ultimate. 1T is purely the result of
spectators in cotton and other pro-
ducts and is deprecated by the legiti-
mate jobbers, who assert that the eff
feet has been to drive millions of dol
lars worth of trade from New York,
which has been encouraged by the
starting of the coffee exchange upon
supposed business principles. If the
exchange wishes to maintain its COM
mercial standing it would better rid it
self of the spectators who seem to con-
troll its business. There is also another
side to this coffee gambling. Ithas put
up the poor mans principal luxury
about 200 per cent in one year, and has
brought into the market again all sorts
of deleterious mixtures which had been
driven out by the low prices prevailing
for two or three years. Now only
those who can afford to pay thirty cents
and more pound can hope to get
anything but adulterated coffee"

Rev. F. D. Altman, who was one of
the delegates to the General Synod of
the Lutheran Church of the United
States that met last week at Omaha,
Nebraska, reports a very interesting
and successful meeting. Two hundred
delegates and an equal number of Wis

S. Freas, of York, Pa, was Secretary.
During the week the delegates went on
an excursion trip to Lincoln and Bea-
trice, Nebraska, and enjoyed them
selves hugely. Among several import
ant propositions under consideration
by the Synod was the establishing of a

A COMMITTEE of gentlemen from
Yates Center have been investigating
the gas well at TT. Scott and Paola.
They make the following report
through Yates Center paper: 1.-THE
reports of the gas at both of these
places has not been exaggerated. =
The first wells discovered at
Paola were about seven miles from
town, and had a pressure of fifty or
sixty pounds. The best one has a
pressure of $50 pounds.
They now supply heat for 200 stoves, a
large flour mill and lights for resi-
dences, yet not all the gas was
used by forty-five pounds. At Fort
Scott the committee noticed four wells
burning, apparently having the same
flow as at Paola. These wells are
drilled on the hillside, limestone crop
ping out on top of the ground, yet but
little stone was gone through. The
gas is all found in white sand with a
hard rock above. At Ft. Scott the
depth is from 225 to 800 feet, at Paola
nearly $50 feet. At Fort Scott it is
found in narrow belt running from
southeast to northwest. Paola has
only three wells, yet the town is sup
piled by them with light and fuel, and
manufactures are run by them"

WToHTTA,s WAL.

The Wichita Eagle makes terrible
wall over the fact that Governor Mar
tin has appointed guardians, in the
shape of a metropolitan police force, to
suppress the whisky selling carried on
openly by members of the council of
that city, and claims that the Windy
Wonder is the most moral city in the
state of Kansas. But when city in
the state of Kansas boasts through the
columns of her daily papers that open
saloons are a recognized factor of her
prosperity, and claims that the state
officers are unable to close them, it is
very appropriate that they should do a
little wailing.
To prohibitionists, however, both in
Wichita and elsewhere, it was thought
to be about time to pull the strings
when a majority of the city council
was composed of whisky sellers or men
who were financially interested in its
sale, and when the open and fragrant
violation of the law of the state was
boasted of by the residents of that
place.

THE Kansas City Times is terribly
tickled over the letter of Gen. Sher-
man, wherein he advises the c.. a. r..
boys to give hearty welcome to Cleve-
lamp. The Times forgets that Sherman
is still soldier of the United States
regular army, although on the retired
list, and that Grover Cleveland as pres
ident of the United States, is his supe-
rior officer. 1t also forgets that the G..
y. r. members were only soldiers long
enough to crush the rebellion sympa-
thized in by Cleveland and participa-
ted in by the boss of the Times. Every
member of the G.. a. r. is as much en-
titled to his ideas of right and wrong
as is Gen. w. L. Sherman, and if
Cleveland attends the reunion at st.
Louis it is probable that more than one
post in Kansas, Iowa and other states
will fail to put in an appearance to do
him honor, Notwithstanding the
advice of Gen. Sherman, who is
becoming old and childish and chang
able in his views.

No, and it dees not intend to lend a
hand to the great pension vetoer, who
would undoubtedly be well pleased to
have it said that he had attended the
reunion of the G. A. r. and had been
well received by its members, and that,
therefore, all the newspaper talk about
the old soldiers being displeased with
his pension vetoes was bosh. No, in
deed, and if the hypOcriticai Grover does
intrude his unwelcome presence we pre-
dict that, although it viii be cause for
thousands TO stay at home, neverthe-
less there will be enough present to let
him and his friends know just how
much the G.. A. r. boys think of him
and his pension vetoes.

GENERAL SHERMAN, in his letter to
a couple of st. Louis friends, regard
ing the G. a. R., objections to Cleve-
land becoming part of their annual
reunion, says:
If any of our comrades feel hurt at
the association they can remain at
home, but the sun will rise every morn
ing, the seasons will follow each other
in quick succession, and the world,
with its myriads of people, will go
right along all the same.
The above is equally applicable to
Cleveland, although the general seems
to have forgotten that the encampment
is G.. A. Il. encampment, and that
they alone are best able to judge of who
they want as invited guests. But, if
Cleveland is to be there, we hope the
boys will take his advice and remain at
home
